3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -3 What is Network Security 0 Network security consists of the provisions made in an underlying computer network infrastructure, policies adopted by the network administrator to protect the network and the network-accessible resources from unauthorized access, and consistent and continuous monitoring and measurement of its effectiveness 0 The terms network security and information security are often used interchangeably. Network security is generally taken as providing protection at the boundaries of an organization by keeping out intruders (hackers). 0 Information security, however, explicitly focuses on protecting data resources from malware attack or simple mistakes by people within an organization by use of data loss prevention (DLP) techniques.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -4 What is Network Security 0 Network security starts from authenticating the user, commonly with a username and a password. 0 Once authenticated, a firewall enforces access policies such as what services are allowed to be accessed by the network users. [ 0 Though effective to prevent unauthorized access, this component may fail to check potentially harmful content such as computer worms or Trojans being transmitted over the network. 0 Anti-virus software or an intrusion prevention system (IPS) help detect and inhibit the action of such malware. An anomaly-based intrusion detection system may also monitor the network and traffic for unexpected (i. e. suspicious) content or behavior and other anomalies to protect resources, e. g. from denial of service attacks or an employee accessing files at strange times. Individual events occurring on the network may be logged for audit purposes and for later high level analysis.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -5 What is Network Security 0 Communication between two hosts using a network could be encrypted to maintain privacy. 0 Honeypots essentially decoy network-accessible resources, could be deployed in a network as surveillance and early-warning tools. Techniques used by the attackers that attempt to compromise these decoy resources are studied during and after an attack to keep an eye on new exploitation techniques. Such analysis could be used to further tighten security of the actual network being protected by the honeypot. 0 A Botnet is a collection of software agents, or robots, that run autonomously and automatically. The term is most commonly associated with malicious software, but it can also refer to a network of computers using distributed computing software.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -6 Network Forensic 0 Network forensics is essentially about monitoring network 0 0 traffic and determining if there is an attack and if so, determine the nature of the attack Key tasks include traffic capture, analysis and visualization Many tools are now available Works together with IDs, Firewalls and Honeynets Expert systems solutions show promise
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -7 What is Network Forensics? 0 Network forensics is the capture, recording, and analysis of network events in order to discover the source of security attacks or other problem incidents. 0 Network forensics systems can be one of two kinds: - "Catch-it-as-you-can" systems, in which all packets passing through a certain traffic point are captured and written to storage with analysis being done subsequently in batch mode. This approach requires large amounts of storage, usually involving a RAID system. - "Stop, look and listen" systems, in which each packet is analyzed in a rudimentary way in memory and only certain information saved for future analysis. This approach requires less storage but may require a faster processor to keep up with incoming traffic.
3/18/2018 21: 51 Network Forensics Analysis Tools (NFAT): Relationships between IDS, Firewalls and NFAT 0 IDS attempts to detect activity that violates an organization’s security policy by implementing a set of rules describing preconfigures patterns of interest 0 Firewall allows or disallows traffic to or from specific networks, machine addresses and port numbers 0 NFAT synergizes with IDSs and Firewalls. - Preserves long term record of network traffic - Allows quick analysis of trouble spots identified by IDSs and Firewalls 0 NFATs must do the following: - Capture network traffic - Analyze network traffic according to user needs - Allow system users discover useful and interesting things about the analyzed traffic 13 -8
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -9 NFAT Tasks 0 Traffic Capture - What is the policy? - What is the traffic of interest? - Intermal/Externasl? - Collect packets: tcpdump 0 Traffic Analysis - Sessionizing captured traffic (organize) - Protocol Parsing and analysis = Check for strings, use expert systems for analysis 0 Interacting with NFAT - Appropriate user interfaces, reports, examine large quantities of information and make it manageable
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -10 Honeynets/Honeypots 0 Network Forensics and honeynet systems have the same features of collecting information about computer misuses 0 Honeynet system can lure attackers and gain information about new types of intrusions 0 Network forensics systems analyze and reconstruct he attack behaviors 0 These two systems integrated together build a active self learning and response system to profile the intrusion behavior features and investigate the original source of the attack.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -11 Policies: Computer Attack Taxonomy 0 Probing - Attackers reconnaissance - Attackers create a profile of an organization's structure, network capabilities and content, security posture - Attacker finds the targets and devices plans to circumvent the security mechanism 0 Penetration - Exploit System Configuration errors and vulnerabilities - Install Trojans, record passwords, delete files, etc. 0 Cover tracks - Configure event logging to a previous state - Clear event logs and hide files

3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -32 OSI Model 0 The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model) is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection effort at the International Organization for Standardization. 0 It is a way of sub-dividing a communications system into smaller parts called layers. A layer is a collection of conceptually similar functions that provide services to the layer above it and receives services from the layer below it. 0 On each layer an instance provides services to the instances at the layer above and requests service from the layer below.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -33 OSI Model 0 The Physical Layer defines the electrical and physical specifications for devices. In particular, it defines the relationship between a device and a physical medium. 0 This includes the layout of pins, voltages, cable specifications, hubs, repeaters, network adapters, host bus adapters (HBAs used in storage area networks) and more. 0 The Data Link Layer provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data between network entities and to detect and possibly correct errors that may occur in the Physical Layer. 0 The Network Layer provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variable length data sequences from a source to a destination via one or more networks, while maintaining the quality of service requested by the Transport Layer. The Network Layer performs network routing functions, and might also perform fragmentation and reassembly, and report delivery errors. Routers operate at this layer—sending data throughout the extended network and making the Internet possible.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -34 OSI Model 0 The Transport Layer provides transparent transfer of data between end users, providing reliable data transfer services to the upper layers. The Transport Layer controls the reliability of a given link through flow control, segmentation/desegmentation, and error control. 0 Some protocols are state and connection oriented. This means that the Transport Layer can keep track of the segments and retransmit those that fail. 0 Although not developed under the OSI Reference Model and not strictly conforming to the OSI definition of the Transport Layer, typical examples of Layer 4 are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -35 OSI Model 0 The Session Layer controls the dialogues (connections) between computers. It establishes, manages and terminates the connections between the local and remote application. It provides for full-duplex, half-duplex, or simplex operation, and establishes checkpointing, adjournment, termination, and restart procedures. 0 Presentation layer provides independence from differences in data representation (e. g. , encryption) by translating from application to network format, and vice versa. 0 The presentation layer works to transform data into the form that the application layer can accept. This layer formats and encrypts data to be sent across a network, providing freedom from compatibility problems. It is sometimes called the syntax layer.

3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -39 TCP/IP 0 In the TCP/IP model of the Internet, protocols are not as rigidly designed into strict layers as the OSI model. [ 0 TCP/IP does recognize four broad layers of functionality which are derived from the operating scope of their contained protocols, namely the scope of the software application, the end-to-end transport connection, the internetworking range, and lastly the scope of the direct links to other nodes on the local network. 0 The Internet Application Layer includes the OSI Application Layer, Presentation Layer, and most of the Session Layer. Its end-to-end Transport Layer includes the graceful close function of the OSI Session Layer as well as the OSI Transport Layer. The internetworking layer is a subset of the OSI Network Layer (see above), while the Link Layer includes the OSI Data Link and Physical Layers, as well as parts of OSI's Network Layer.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -40 IPV 4 0 Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv 4) is the fourth revision in the development of the Internet Protocol (IP) and it is the first version of the protocol to be widely deployed. Together with IPv 6, it is at the core of standards-based internetworking methods of the Internet. IPv 4 is still by far the most widely deployed Internet Layer protocol. 0 IPv 4 is a connectionless protocol for use on packet-switched Link Layer networks (e. g. , Ethernet). It operates on a best effort delivery model, in that it does not guarantee delivery, nor does it assure proper sequencing, or avoid duplicate delivery. These aspects, including data integrity, are addressed by an upper layer transport protocol (e. g. , Transmission Control Protocol).
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -41 IPSEC 0 Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a data stream. IPsec also includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPsec can be used to protect data flows between a pair of hosts (e. g. computer users or servers), between a pair of security gateways (e. g. routers or firewalls), or between a security gateway and a host 0 IPsec is a dual mode, end-to-end, security scheme operating at the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite or OSI model Layer 3. Some other Internet security systems in widespread use, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Shell (SSH), operate in the upper layers of these models. Hence, IPsec can be used for protecting any application traffic across the Internet.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -42 TLS/SSL 0 Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Socket Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide security for communications over networks such as the Internet. TLS and SSL encrypt the segments of network connections at the Application Layer to ensure secure end-toend transit at the Transport Layer. 0 Several versions of the protocols are in widespread use in applications like web browsing, electronic mail, Internet faxing, instant messaging and voice-over-IP (Vo. IP). 0 The TLS protocol allows client/server applications to communicate across a network in a way designed to prevent eavesdropping and tampering. TLS provides endpoint authentication and communications confidentiality over the Internet using cryptography. TLS provides RSA security.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -43 TLS/SSL 0 In typical end-user/browser usage, TLS authentication is unilateral: only the server is authenticated (the client knows the server's identity), but not vice versa (the client remains unauthenticated or anonymous). 0 TLS also supports the more secure bilateral connection mode (typically used in enterprise applications), in which both ends of the "conversation" can be assured with whom they are communicating (provided they diligently scrutinize the identity information in the other party's certificate). This is known as mutual authentication, or 2 SSL. Mutual authentication requires that the TLS client-side also hold a certificate (which is not usually the case in the enduser/browser scenario).
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -44 DMZ 0 DMZ, or demilitarized zone is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization's external services to a larger untrusted network, usually the Internet. 0 The term is normally referred to as a DMZ by IT professionals. It is sometimes referred to as a Perimeter Network. 0 The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization's Local Area Network (LAN); an external attacker only has access to equipment in the DMZ, rather than any other part of the network.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -45 DMZ 0 In a network, the hosts most vulnerable to attack are those that provide services to users outside of the local area network, such as e-mail, web and DNS servers. 0 Because of the increased potential of these hosts being compromised, they are placed into their own sub-network in order to protect the rest of the network if an intruder were to succeed. Hosts in the DMZ have limited connectivity to specific hosts in the internal network, though communication with other hosts in the DMZ and to the external network is allowed. 0 This allows hosts in the DMZ to provide services to both the internal and external network, while an intervening firewall controls the traffic between the DMZ servers and the internal network clients.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -46 WAP 0 Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open international standard[for application-layer network communications in a wireless-communication environment. Most use of WAP involves accessing the mobile web from a mobile phone or from a PDA. 0 A WAP browser provides all of the basic services of a computer-based web browser but simplified to operate within the restrictions of a mobile phone, such as its smaller view screen. Users can connect to WAP sites: websites written in, or dynamically converted to, WML (Wireless Markup Language) and accessed via the WAP browser.
3/18/2018 21: 51 WAP 13 -47
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -48 Instant Messaging 0 Instant messaging (IM) is a form of real-time direct text-based communication between two or more people using personal computers or other devices, along with shared software clients. The user's text is conveyed over a network, such as the Internet. More advanced instant messaging software clients also allow enhanced modes of communication, such as live voice or video calling. 0 IM falls under the umbrella term online chat, as it is a real-time text-based networked communication system, but is distinct in that it is based on clients that facilitate connections between specified known users ("Contact List"), whereas online 'chat' also includes web-based applications that allow communication between (often anonymous) users in a multiuser environment
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -49 VPN 0 A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network. It aims to avoid an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can only be used by one organization. The goal of a VPN is to provide the organization with the same, secure capabilities, but at a much lower cost. 0 It encapsulates data transfers between two or more networked devices not on the same private network so as to keep the transferred data private from other devices on one or more intervening local or wide area networks. There are many different classifications, implementations, and uses for VPNs.
3/18/2018 21: 51 13 -50 Next Steps 0 Cloud computing security (sometimes referred to simply as "cloud security") is an evolving sub-domain of computer security, network security, and, more broadly, information security. It refers to a broad set of policies, technologies, and controls deployed to protect data, applications, and the associated infrastructure of cloud computing. 0 Secuity issues fall into two broad categories: Security issues faced by cloud providers (organizations providing Software-, Platform-, or Infrastructure-as-a-Service via the cloud) and security issues faced by their customers. In most cases, the provider must ensure that their infrastructure is secure and that their clients’ data and applications are protected while the customer must ensure that the provider has taken the proper security measures to protect their information.
